It's good to see that Ms Soper is still around. Not living in the UK I lost sight of her after Side by Side but was delighted to see her again in Sunday in the Park.
When you think about it Godspell very kindly gave us David Essex, Jeremy Irons, Marti Webb, Gay Soper and Julie Covington. Such a shame that Ms Covington seems to have vanished into thin air - the roles she could have played is an afternoon's entertainment in itself.

Just listening to the Elaine Paige special with Stephen Schwartz and she announced that The Baker's Wife is coming back to London soon. Know nothing about this show, i must admit, but the song he performed from it was lovely.

Fantastic score, terrible book. I wonder if they will make some changes. Meadowlark is my most played Showtune ever. i have far too many versions of it!

It's a lovely song. I have the (London?) Cast Recording of this, but haven't listened to it for ages.
Might be something for one of the smaller venues rather than the West End? At least initially, with a potential transfer?

Wonderful show. I can't wait to see it again.
What with Rags, Eypgt and the ever going Wicked this is going to be a good year for Mr Schwartz

Maybe to follow Rags into Hope Mill and/or the Park Theatre , again with changes (rewrite) as Mr Schwartz deems appropriate ?

Where is this being staged? Any further information would be appreciated. Not an Aria production as far as I know, Elaine Paige commented “I gather it maybe coming back to London soon" when talking about the show. She has obviously heard something but that's all we have currently lol |

I'd be very interested in seeing this! Laura Michelle Kelly sang 'Meadowlark' at her concert last year, and said that she'd love to be in a production of it. I know that it'll never happen, but I'd love to see her in this, can't wait to see where and when this might be happening  |

It's Southwark towards the summer I believe, but definitely Southwark.

The title character gets the shows biggest numbers, but its the Baker himself that carries the bulk of the show. Both roles are sought after so it will be interesting to see who they cast.

I have been listening to this, and there really is some beautiful music in this. The Gift of Love is gorgeous.

Saw this back at the “old” union in around 2010 I think it was. Very enjoyable show that I’ll look forward to revisiting.

I love the score but this show never works on stage. If we get a new recording of it then I’ll be chuffed.

Would make the trip down from Manchester to see this. I imagine it would work well in this intimate space.

I’ve never been to the Menier before. When are tickets for this likely to go on sale?

It is a rich score. Never seen it live but this is certainly tempting.
Meadowlark and Proud Lady are both great sings. Casting will be important.
